We went up to Nottingham for the weekend for a baby naming ceremony. That was good and various people gave readings that they had chosen and we then ate lots of food. There were some rather nice cakes and I had a good sample of each of them.
We used the sat nav to get there, which was fine, except that it ran out of power about a mile before our destination, which was not great timing. I did have the cable to charge it in the car, but that then had to be sorted out so that we could find where to go. On Saturday morning I looked on the John Lewis website and the sat nav I bought had gone down in price by £20. So I phoned then before we set off and I asked if I could have the £20 difference back. It seems they will refund it to me, which is a bit of a result.
The washing machine seems to be doing odd things – and just in time for us to go on holiday, when we want to do lots of washing. First of all it wouldn’t work and then it was doing the washing at a really high temperature, even though it was only meant to be a doing a 40 degree wash. I don’t think this improved the clothes that were in the machine. We may just have to resort to buying some new, and therefore, clean stuff...

Feeling in need of light relief today, and you didn't let me down!
I try to avoid having to find new places in Nottingham, but if there's one place where you might need a sat nav, Nottingham would be my choice.
Definitely buy new clothes. Last time I did so people noticed. Not the clothes particularly, think it was the lack of rumpledness...
Are you going on holiday soon? Hope you have a great time.
Sarah - I'm glad I was able to please. I hope your day has improved.
Isn't Nottingham the gun capital of the UK? Maybe it made me more of a target by using it while I was there.
I think I probably look quite rumpled most of the time. The only tome I ever use an iron is if I am using wundaweb to repair the hem on my trousers.
I am going on holiday on Saturday for two weeks. We're going to Montreal and then east from there to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. Can't wait...
Your holiday plans sound wonderful. And have reminded me that I was planning to read "Anne of Green Gables" to my daughters...
Wow, I would never of thought of ringing up JLewis for the refund; good on you.
P.S. It is grim up north.
P.P.S Do you play scrabble?
Sarah - I had actually meant to track down a copy of Anne of Green Gables to take with me. I must try and get a copy this week.
Kahless - I would only try it with John Lewis. It counts as an 'undersale' apparently.
Is it grim due to the weather or just generally??
I do play scrabble sometimes. Any particular reason?
